Hi all,

I’m on the lookout for a low-mileage 07/57/08 plate TDV8 RRS for a ‘realistic’ price...

Colour wise, I’m after a dark, metallic exterior but with a light colour interior (e.g. Stornaway & Alpaca). However, I might consider the Rimini & Black if it has the other options I’m after.

Options...
The main option I would like is the active rear diff (I know, not usually found on anything other than ex-LRE vehicles - Hence the Rimini ) but if I could get any of the following then that would be a bonus:

* Winter Pack
* Privacy Glass
* Cool box
* Rear screens

WHY

Drop me a PM.

Welcome to the forums Camel, all UK TDv8 HSE's come with winter pack and cool box as standard - the privacy and RSE were options though. There are a few non-LR cars with active rear diff, but it isn't a really popular option as not so many RRS owners buy their cars with the intention to take them seriously offroad. If you don't mind a Silver one with ebony leather, all the Land Rover Experience cars get it fitted and there will be a load of them coming on the market shortly when 2011 MY is freely available, although I'm not sure how many will be TDV8', more likely to be the excellent TDv6 3.0ltr version - you might even find one ready equipped with a Warn winch too. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the welcome and an update on the trim options.

I'm not after an ex-LRE car, for a number of reasons but partly coz I don't like the silver. However... The LRE TerraPod cars have the e-Diff and are in Rimini. The only drawback is that they have the black interior (but I could live with that).

I also doubt the LRE cars would come with a winch but I wouldn't want a winch anyway (more trouble than they're worth).

I'm looking at 07-08MY as that falls into the budget I'm playing with. Any 10MY cars, about to come through the system would be out of my budget anyway.

Cheers,

M

Andy,

Thanks for your PM but as I haven't reached my minimum of 5x posts I can't reply direct...

However, thanks for the offer but it's the wrong spec for me.

Cheers,

I know all about electric winches and that they usually start to give off white smoke when you most need them, that's why I have a Mile Marker Hydraulic one on my 90 - might be a load slower than an electric one but it will keep pulling long after an electric one has given up the ghost! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I prefer Tirfors myself. At least then, you can pull yourself out backwards.
